Joe Biden disclosed his massive gun control Executive Order plans this week and they are as meaningless as you may have expected but they are soaked in utter stupidity. Among them?
Asking the DOJ to propose within 60 days a rule on braces used for handguns, which make them more accurate; to propose action on “community violence intervention”; to publish suggestions for “red flag” legislation; and is asking his administration to issue a report on gun trafficking.
Awesome. The big one? Ghost guns.
An administration official detailed the actions to reporters on Wednesday. Among them, Biden is asking the Justice Department (DOJ) to propose within a month a rule to stop “ghost guns,” which are “kits” people can buy legally to assemble a functioning firearm that does not have a serial number.
You know that this is a frontal assault on the Second Amendment and the proof of that is that Biden claims it isn’t.
“Nothing I’m about to recommend in any way impinges on the Second Amendment,” Biden said. “These are phony arguments suggesting that these are Second Amendment rights at stake from what we’re talking about.”
Biden’s basis for suspending the Second Amendment will be a that it’s “not just the gun crisis but what is actually a public health crisis.”
Then he went on to make some interesting comments
“no amendment to the Constitution is absolute”
Really? Not the 13th? Not the 14th? Not the 5th? It gives you an idea of what’s coming from this aspiring dictator. Then he said:
“From the very beginning, you couldn’t own any weapon you wanted to own.”
I kind of doubt this.
He also uncorked this beauty
“You go to a gun show, you can buy whatever you want, and no background check.”
That’s a lie. Even Politifact wouldn’t swallow it. Then someone in the White House explained that he didn’t say what he said, you see….
The White House told PolitiFact that Biden wasn’t suggesting that every gun transaction at a gun show would take place without a background check.
But that is what he said.
But what I found overtly stupid were a couple a subsequent comments.
At about 14 minutes in he starts blathering about violence in the cities and how it affects children. How many mass shootings were committed with ghost guns? How many were committed with weapons sold in gun shows without any background check?
Then he says gun violence was the leading cause of death in black males between 15 and 34. How does banning ghost guns help that? He said there are programs that have been shown to reduce deaths by 60%.
What are they and where are they? No one seems to know but one thing was certain- more money was needed.
But the best was yet to come. He pretty much said that these programs (i.e. confiscating guns) will “build economies that work for all of us.” (15:30)
democrats seize upon mass shootings as lynchpins for action and completely ignore the shooting deaths in LA, Chicago, DC and Baltimore where cumulative deaths dwarf mass shootings. As of yesterday there have been 839 people shot and 154 dead in Chicago this year. 84 have been killed in Baltimore. There were 462 murders in New York City last year. democrats have great interest in shootings committed by whites and lose interest entirely when the shooters are non-white. They revel in the mass shootings in suburban America but could care less about those in the inner cities.
America really doesn’t need more gun laws. What it needs is enforcement of current laws. Illegally owned guns need to be take from those who are not qualified to possess them, not from law abiding citizens. But Biden isn’t interested in actually taking that on. The low hanging fruit is much easier. Biden’s actions sound like something useful superficially but in truth are worthless and do nothing.
Just like Biden himself.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
You know Democrats have no intention of reducing crimes or gun crimes through their “common sense gun control”. You know it because they lie about what these laws are addressing. There is no “gun show loophole”. No one sits down at a lathe and a mill to build a gun out of raw materials to commit a crime. Prison revolving doors for violent criminals is the origin of most of the crime. In addition to that, Democrats have unleashed unabated political violence upon the cities that will allow it (all Democrat run). As if that doesn’t make life dangerous enough, Democrats are defunding and disarming police departments anywhere they can, and trying to do it on a national scale. Not enough yet? The idiot Democrats led by idiot Biden have opened out border wide open and is not only allowing illegal immigrants, criminals, terrorists and drugs but more COVID19 to flood the country.
And they want us to put our safety in THEIR hands.
Now that Prop 47 is CA law, fences send in professional shoplifters with specific shopping (stealing) lists.
They very carefully keep the totals under the $950 that bumps their theft to a felony worth a call to police by the shop owner.
No wonder there are more empty storefronts every month in CA, model for Biden’s America,
Now, Biden wants regular folks to be as helpless as babies when a follow home robber targets him or her.
If this becomes Biden policy I expect these professional fences will target homes for specific goods, knowing their robbers are safe.
Biden’s handlers call it a “redistribution of wealth and goods.”
The consolation for having your inventory depleted $949 at a time is “Insurance will cover it.” I guess their consolation for when we are robbed, shot or a loved one killed by those who still have THEIR guns because, you know, laws are pretty meaningless to criminals, will be, “Oh, well. Guns will be guns. Have a nice day!”

Yup.
And, if you recall, in the case of Kate Steinle, the illegal alien felon who had the gun in his hands illegally and pulled the trigger, was found Not Guilty.
Of ANY crime!
He was exonerated of any and all crime!
It was all the gun’s fault.
Totally the gun’s fault.
Most all tyrants and despots disarm their people before their rounded up into Concentration camps/Gulags Hitler did so did Stalin and Mao
This directly affects R&D on weaponry, other countries will have more advanced guns while our guys will use muskets.
Mass shooting of the day, April 16, 2021 – At least 8 dead in shooting at FedEx facility:

This one was in Indianapolis. An Indiana bill that would have made concealed carry lawful in Indiana lawful without a license was just killed in a Senate committee after passing in the House. Don’t jump to conclusions. A republican state senator did that.
Instead of repeatedly imposing laws on the law abiding people that are not at all the problem, why not register and monitor people on psychotropic drugs? Most of the mass killings, when not committed by liberals driven insane by left wing incitement of violence, have been people on these drugs.
No, instead you prefer to infringe upon the law abiding who, in the world of constantly increasing liberal violence, need the ability for self defense even more.
